I'm going to try and go out tomorrow. Now last week........ I bought a 5 piece set of cookware, looks like from the 70's or 80's. I saw the same thing on ebay but only 3 pieces and she wanted $25. I paid $2.50, I'm happy!

I got enough clothes for my little girl for the next year includin 3 coats and one snowsuit. All name brand and in like new condition. Old navy, Levis,ect. for $150. I think not having to buy clothes for the next year for one child is worth that.

Last Friday's rummage sales were made for DS and I! I couldn't believe it! I found:

a bus-shaped picture frame for all the year's school pics (I almost bought one on ebay or amazon for $12.00 -- got this one for $2).

a mary engelbreit christmas plate for $.50

a putting green and 10 golf balls (for DS) for $2.00

a small soft cooler for snacks and drinks in the car -- NIB - $2.00

This is the greatest one -- my DS is very interested in Lewis and Clark right now, and I have been looking for books on ebay and amazon, but they were either too young or too old for him -- so at a yard sale, we find a hard-covered, correct age level Lewis and Clark book for $.75! DS was thrilled!

And then, I found some metal, retro toys that I will sell on EBAY. I'm hoping that what I make will offset all that I bought this Friday!

I also found 300+ motel shampoos, lotions, soaps, conditioners, mouthwash, etc. for $11.00! These will be FANTASTIC gifts at our elementary Christmas Bazaar!

Oh, and I got two unopened packages of scrapbook page savers for $.25 each!

I will try to put a photo on of next week's "treasures".
